Resume
Academic Achievements
- First-authored papers have won awards at top HCI conferences, including CHI, CSCW, and UIST; recent pre-print, 'Who Validates the Validators?', cited as the direct motivation for new LLM-validator-oversight features in LangSmith and Autoblocks, LLMOps tools used by 100k+ users worldwide.
Research Experience
- Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University, working with Professor Elena Glassman in the Harvard HCI group; founded the Montréal HCI group; creator and lead developer of ChainForge, the first open-source visual programming environment for prompt engineering.
Education
- Ph.D. from Cornell University in Information Science, advised by Professor Tapan Parikh. Dissertation work spanned the intersection of computer programming and culture, investigating programming as a social and cultural practice.
Background
- Assistant Professor of Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Montréal in the Department of Computer Science and Operations Research (DIRO), also affiliated with Mila. Research interests include designing new AI-powered tools to support early-stage design processes, developing interfaces to help end-users evaluate large language model (LLM) outputs, and augmenting programming practice with multi-modal AI.
Miscellany
- Recruiting exactly one PhD student for their 4-year program; interested undergraduates can send an email with a brief summary of who they are and what ongoing projects or domains they are interested in; communication policy available on his personal website.
